Boutique: Beyond the Pale

1960s, british boutique movement

I know nothing of Beyond the Pale other than this photo (scanned from 20th Century Fashion by David Bond). If anyone knows anything, please do let me know. I love this photo; nobody looks quite as good as they probably think they are, but they look all the more amazing for it. And I particularly love the ‘candid’ face of the guy coming out of the door.

Edited to add a scrap of information from the photo agency website:

    Peter Woodworth owned this shop in Walton Street.Judy Scutt and lesley Kernot came to agreement on the name Beyond the Pale .Lesley and Judy designed the clothes and put into production the clothes for the shop.Decor was agreed.
    Lesley and Judy soon after formed a company named tipperipperappa and sold clothes to boutiques in London and for export.
